Rapids All out of the county and Adams coun ty getting no credit for it I would no use the old adage Give the devil his but I would say give credi where credit where credit is I do not wish to be of those who throw at others which lias been very much in evidence in this case All of these counties have good productive lands within their boundaries and all have some that are quite poor There seems to u good many that know but very little of Adams Co as n that are much like the Jews of old that said Can any good thing come out of 1 have no interest in Adams Co now so have no axe to grind but I have known it from its infancy and gained in the mean time a pretty geod knowledge of the counties around it The lack of a railroad running north und thru its center and establishing kets along its route is its greatest misfortune The N W K R that went thru about 7 years ago relieves it some but only partially a greai deal will still go east and south Do not think that your article of last week was the sole cause for this but it brings to mind the unjust criticism and snubs that Adams Co people have bourne with for many years ably if someone should say that a dairy farmer in Adams Co received the highest award for butter at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1893 many would say I don't believe but it is the truth That any can find out i they wish and that dairy farmer was Yours very
